Abstract (en)
[origin: US5288203A] An electronic component cooling low profile fan body with favorable heat transfer characteristics is disclosed. A fan, positioned in the body, includes a number of blades circumferentially formed around a central axis. The blades establish an axial blade depth region in reference to the central axis. The low profile fan body includes a frame supporting the fan. In one embodiment of the invention, the heat transfer body includes a pressure differential surface formed around the outer perimeter of the fan blades within a first segment of the axial blade depth region. An interface surface for connection to the electronic component is positioned opposite of the fan frame. A number of heat transfer devices are disposed between the frame and the interface surface, such that the heat transfer devices are positioned within a second segment of the axial blade depth region. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, heat transfer devices are disposed between the frame and the interface surface, without a pressure differential surface, along the entire axial blade depth region. The configuration of the heat transfer devices allows them to function as both a heat transfer surface and a pressure differential surface.
